You will need print out (hard copy) for immigration and also for airline if you're obtaining boarding pass.

Off topic post removed

Here is a thread. In my first post I list 3 additional thread links. They cover what's required. They should also mention form TM87. You need "Bank letter". This is simply letter from bank that lists you as owner and balance at time of printing. 100b Yes you provide bank book and photocopies. A TM30 and lease would be sufficient. You apply where you live. Note: if you apply for the Non O in Bangkok that's where you apply for your 12 month extension. In subsequent years you can change address and obtain extensions in another provience. Also: There are photocopy shops on Level 1. That is also where the banks are. If you present your passport and bankbook to then they know what photocopies you need.

Sadly thinking your experience will be the norm for folk with DTV.

OP has he answer. Thread closed

Didn't use border run agent? Good result

Excellent report. Thankyou. Without being negative your success in the 5yr with DTV may have been fortuitous. After all they initially indicated only 2yr would be issued. In any event you got the 5 so good news. Some folk posting only 2 so seems hit and miss. BTW some of your cost were little high side. 505b should have been for TDL. The medical from clinic ~100b. Not important.

I always suggest this option ..."start over" If someone uses agent for the Non O + 12 month extension thats fine. One of the reasons may also to include bank account. In order to start DYI ....exit Thailand close to expiry of permission of stay (without reentry permit) and obtain visa exempt entry and obtain non O from that. Note the 800k would need to be shown to have come from abroad or have been in bank for some months. Would even suggest to having a new bank account.

Seems you have applied for extension based on marriage and currently in "under consideration period" The funds should be maintained above 400k. Deposits and withdrawals can be made. Just keep balance above 400k

Only at time of application. To apply for Non O you require 15 days remaining on permission of stay. CM 21. Phuket also. The Non O provides a 90 day stamp. After the funds have been in the account for two months, you can apply for 12 months extension. Which immigration office? Remember you can obtain 30 day extension to current permission of stay to buy time (1900b)

That is not correct. You have a TM30 and a lease. That should be sufficient for annual extensions at new immigration office. Here is thread re change of address and yellow book. https://aseannow.com/topic/1256886-changing-tabien-banh-address/

Will reply to this last bit as it covers best advice. Earlier you stated...."Yes I will be 50 on March 24th" So you are not even 50 currently. Don't know you obtain Non O previously. In any event shortly you will be 50. Also the bonus is that you have a Thai bank account in your name only. Best option for you (if you can afford it) is to obtain a Non O from visa exempt entry OR obtain a Non O outside of Thailand. S subsequently obtain 12 month annual extension. This allows for ongoing living in Thailand without issue. A Non O is single entry so you also obtain multiple reentry permit (simple). That covers you to exit and reenter anytime during course of your extension. Forget about the 90 days. Think you refer to that as in your mind a Multi Entry Non O .....no, I'm outlining a single entry Non O + 12 month extension. No need to exit at all unless you wish. That's where the reentry permit come in . Here is thread outlines o training Non O retirement in Thailand from visa exempt entry... https://aseannow.com/topic/1282251-visa-exempt-to-non-o-retirement-dates/

You should be doing extensions where you live, so you will do change of address TM30 and start doing doing your extensions at immigration office in new province. Do you have lease for new residence

Visa does not need to be a Non O can be eg a METV. What does that mean? What is passport country You can obtain a Non O inside Thailand from visa exempt entry. Does not require an agent however requires Thai bank account and money in bank. Don't think good option at this point. What is your future plans for travel to Thailand AFTER this visit. How long do you hope to spend in Thailand each time you visit

Bottom line is that you were permitted to enter Thailand. Forget about the ticket you have March 15. You can leave anytime up till April 11. No issue when you exit Thailand. BTW: There would be no issue even if you had wanted to obtain 30 day extension. Regards the io stating.... next time have a Non O .... Are you 50+ yrs old?

They will be closed. In any event it's no big deal to return for final stamp a day late.

My understanding is CW closed Feb 12. No problem. Just go on 13

So apply at your local Bangkok Bank branch say march 3 and you will have the statement to take to CW on March 10 .

6 month statement is provided by Bangkok Bank on the spot. You want a 12 month bank statement. That takes 3-5 days if you are in Bangkok. So you obtain the 12 month statement in the week prior to application. Do you understand now

At CW you can apply for extension up to 45 days prior to expiry. Obtain your 12 month bank statement few days PRIOR to attending CW for extension application.

I am not typing about bank book update. Yes I mentioned it however that's not a concern. The OP stated earlier....... "... I just went in, waited a little after taking a queue ticket and asked for the letter and last 12 months of statements". He is obtaining a 12 month bank statement from Bangkok Bank. They don't do them on the spot. It takes days.

12 month bank statement will show compliance having started with 800k in bank on Jan 4. When did agent apply for this current extension. When does current extension expire

Thanks for report. So once the 800k has been in bank for 2 months you will be ready to obtain the 12 month extension. Obviously you are aware of the financial requirements in the future eg 800k for 3 months after Extension etc.

If you start with an agent then the agent would have obtained the 12 month extension WITHOUT adhering to financial requirements. When did you actually place the 800k in your account and leave it there. When you apply for next extension you would need to show financial compliance back to your last extension date and even 2 months prior.. Are you able to do that. For anyone reading this thread, a better option to start DIY after having used an agent is to start over. Exit Thailand reenter visa exempt and obtain a Non O with your own 800k in bank and then subsequent 12 month extension.

Of course...that's one of main reasons someone would use an agent. To bypass financial requirements. Wonder why everyone else using Bangkok Bank require several days to obtain 12 month bank statement. Bank Letter yes on the spot.. 200b and 100b respectively
